Subject: Transparency – section on website
I’d suggest that Campaign contributions be easily accessible on our website. We need to walk the talk. jim

Jim has never run a campaign because he has always been un-opposed. Is he worried about 2015? Is he wanting to expose citizens who may want the other not-so-smart members off the council?
Jim, Jim. There already is a website. There are rules for campaign contributions and disclosures. Most people would think somebody in politics would already know that! Since you don’t, here’s the link: http://www.elections.il.gov/campaigndisclosure/candidatesearch.aspx
A better suggestions: How about listing on the website how much the city spends on studies by outside vendors? How about the entire city checkbook be made available on-line? Too much transparency?
